He couldn’t help but ask, “Judy, did that bastard do anything to you? Are you alright?”


    Judy had been trying to hold back her tears.


    After all, she was the head of the studio.


    If everyone saw her crying, where would her pride go?


    She shook her head, indicating that she was fine.


    Brian, on the other hand, started to panic.


    He stood frozen, watching the crowd of coworkers rush in, with only one thought in his mind.


    It was over.


    His whole life was over.


    Now that everyone had seen it–him trapping his boss in an office how could he possibly survive this?


    He had a bright future ahead of him, and now he’d thrown it all away over one reckless mistake.


    At that thought, Brian wanted to p himself.


    But the next second, when he saw Keh approaching, it all clicked.


    Everything that happened earlier–Judy had just been stalling for me.


    He pointed at her furiously and shouted, “You bitch<b>, </b>you were doing it on purpose?”


    The flirtatious look he used to give her was gone. His eyes were filled with nothing but hatred.


    It was clear–his attitude hadpletely changed.


    Looking at Brian now, Judy found itughable.


    Wasn’t this the most obvious proof?


    One moment he was professing love, and the next?


    He was mocking her with cold eyes, calling her names.


    If that was what love looked like, then Judy decided she’d never toch romance again.


    She shook her head and gave Keh a faint smile, signaling that she was alright.


    She knew that if anything serious happened, the studio would be dyed again.


    But no matter what, she would never rehire Brian.


    Kehforted Judy for a while. Once he confirmed she was bly unharmed, he finally rxed.


    Judy gave herself a silent pep talk. At a moment like this, she couldn’t give up not on herself, and definitely not on all the ns she’d alreadyid out.


    He was just a minor employee. Something this small couldn’t affe her determination to go abroad.


    “Alright, as long as you’re okay,”


    Keh raised a hand and gently ruffled the top of her soft hair.


    Thankfully, he hadn’t misjudged her.


    He knew Judy was a woman with serious ambition.


    If she had given up because of this, then he really would’ve been w


    But that was never going to happen. He knew her temperament we


    Keh asked, “So what do you n to do with this man?”


    The moment the question was asked, all eyes turned to Brian.


    Suddenly, Brian felt like a rat on the street, cornered under everyo


    Whispers broke out from the crowd.


    “Unbelievable. He always looked so put–together. Just goes to sho


    “Yeah, he used to boss us around like he owned the ce.”


    “Who would’ve thought he’d do something like this?”


    “If you ask me, guys like him belong in prison. Leaving him in soc


    The moment Brian heard the word “prison,” something in him s


    He shouted, “I didn’t–I didn’t do anything! What I did isn’t enou


    He turned and red at the coworkers around him, eyes wide with fury. “And you all–who the hell do you right do you have to judge me? Do you even measure up?

    are? What


    “A bunch of arrogant nobodies!”


    Judy couldn’t help butugh at how shameless Brian still was.


    “Oh? They don’t measure up, but you do? Have you even looked at yourself–do you know what you’ve be?”


    Judy stepped out of Keh’s arms and took two slow steps forward, meeting the stares from the crowd head–on. “I’ve done nothing wrong. The one truly in the wrong here is a parasite like


    you.”


    Her voice rang out clearly. “And I agree with what they said. Someone like you should be behind bars.”


    Brian wasn’t having it. His eyes looked crazed, like he’d snapped.


    “No! I don’t ept this!”


    He pointed a finger at Judy’s face and shouted, “You’re the one who seduced me, you bitch! Stop trying to twist the story!


    “If you hadn’t tempted me, I wouldn’t have made this mistake!”


    At that, someone nearby let out a snort ofughter.


    Clearly, they were amused by how ridiculous that statement was.


    No one believed a word Brian said.


    Judy had money, looks, and status. A woman like her could have any man she wanted.


    Why would she stoop so low as to seduce a random office worker?


    Besides, Brian wasn’t anything special–just an average guy with a in face.


    At best, he was somewhat capable, but even that only counted within their small circle.


    Nothing about him was truly outstanding.


    All those so–called qualities were just illusions within their bubble


    No one took it seriously.


    His usations were nothing but a joke.


    Brian saw the looks of disdain on everyone’s faces, and panic start to set in.


    He was only in his twenties–he couldn’t go to prison.


    If that really happened, his life would be ruined.


    He couldn’t let that happen!


    Brian pounded his chest, overwhelmed by helplessness.


    “Why? Why won’t any of you believe me?”


    He took a few steps toward the group of coworkers, trying to get someone to meet his eyes. “I’m telling the truth! That woman seduced me!


    “The woman you all call your boss? She’s nothing but a promiscuous flirt. Can’t you see it yet?”
